The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 170: Turning the Tide
The storm outside mirrored the one within Damon Thorne.Lightning cracked across the skyline as he stood in the command room of Thorne’s Global secure tech bunker, a facility so discreet even most board members didn’t know it existed. Around him, his most loyal team members moved with precision, scanning servers, cross-referencing surveillance feeds, and tracking every digital trail that might expose the conspiracy threatening to collapse everything he’d built.Juliette stood beside him, headset on, eyes locked on her laptop and the massive overhead monitor. They were no longer just surviving, they were striking. Armed not with bullets, but with evidence: names, dates, voice recordings, wire transfers. And all of it secured through the uneasy alliance with their former rival-turned-asset now, Magnus Virelli.“We’re ready,” Juliette said, her voice tight with anticipation.Damon gave a nod. “Let it rip.”With a tap of her finger, the operation went live.Simultaneously, classified file
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 169: The Price of Power
The conference room at Thorne’s Global downtown headquarters was dimly lit, a deliberate choice for the conversation ahead. Damon Thorne sat at the head of the long glass table, a figure of grit and exhaustion. Opposite him sat Roman Vale the CEO of ValeCorp, a man with a smile as sharp as his acquisitions.Beside Damon, Juliette watched with narrowed eyes. The air between them brimmed with mistrust and necessity. Roman’s offer had bought them time in the war against Paragon but at a steep cost: a minority stake in Thorne Global and limited access to their confidential systems for six months.“You don’t like me,” Roman said, sipping his espresso with smug grace. “That’s fine. I don’t need to be liked. I need to be effective.”Damon’s expression didn’t waver. “We didn’t accept your terms because we wanted to. We accepted them because we were cornered.”Juliette’s tone turned glacial. “Double-cross us, and there won’t be a second meeting.”Roman smiled wider. “Relax. I don’t double-cros
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 168: In the Crosshairs
The Thorne Enterprises boardroom buzzed with tension, like a taut wire straining against a gathering storm. Executives clustered in tight groups, voices hushed, expressions pinched with unease. The floor-to-ceiling glass offered no comfort from the pressure mounting inside. At the head of the table, Damon sat like a fortress of silence, eyes sweeping the room with calculating intensity.“We received confirmation this morning,” Lawrence Hyde, the interim chairman, said grimly. “A coordinated buyout offer has been submitted to shareholders. Hostile, and if accepted, it gives majority control to an anonymous syndicate.”A ripple of shock moved through the room. Damon’s hands curled into fists under the table. Beside him, Juliette leaned forward, voice cold and clear.“Who’s behind it?”“No direct name. The offer came from a holding company — Paragon Strategic. Offshore registered, layered through dummy firms.” Lawrence slid a folder across the table. “All trails end in the Caymans.”Damo
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 167: Dangerous Deals
Rain fell in a steady rhythm against the penthouse windows, soft but insistent like a countdown clock Damon couldn’t silence. Inside, tension hung in the air like fog. Damon stood near the fireplace, arms crossed, jaw tight. Across from him, Juliette paced, her boots whispering across the marble floor.“We can’t make a decision out of fear,” Juliette said, stopping short of him. Her voice was calm, but her eyes shimmered with barely restrained emotion. “He betrayed you, Damon. Lied for months. Watched everything fall apart and didn’t say a word.”Damon’s gaze didn’t move. “He was cornered. Celeste had leverage.”“So did we,” Juliette snapped. “And we didn’t hand your empire to the enemy.”Carson Wells — former CFO, trusted friend had offered a deal: immunity in exchange for intel. Names. Shell companies. Routes and passwords that could unravel the web surrounding Celeste and Orbis.Everything they needed.But letting him walk free would make them complicit.Damon turned from the fire.
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 166: Breaking the Chain
The storm had finally broken.Rain slashed against the glass of Thorne International’s top-floor conference suite, lightning splitting the sky like a judge’s gavel. Inside, the boardroom was stripped of its usual calm. No board members. No advisors. Just betrayal and reckoning.Damon stood at the head of the table, a man still healing from bullet wounds but vibrating with barely contained fury.Across from him sat Nolan Avery - CFO, godfather to Mason, and now confirmed conspirator.The takedown of Lydia earlier that morning had cracked open more than just one mole. Her login logs led to hidden caches files masked deep in the company’s secure servers. And within those caches: authorization stamps, ghost transactions, and digital breadcrumbs pointing straight to Nolan.Damon slammed the printed files onto the glass. “You were the last one I ever expected to sell me out.”Nolan’s face was calm, but the lines around his eyes betrayed him. “You don’t know the full story.”“I know you shar
The Billionaire’s Forgotten Wife Chapter 165: The Hidden File
The penthouse was cloaked in the hush of midnight, broken only by the soft hum of Juliette’s encrypted laptop. A single desk lamp glowed gold against the darkness, casting long shadows over the mahogany. Juliette sat still, frozen in that glow, her fingers hovering above the keyboard as the progress bar ticked toward completion.The hidden file had been buried deep - concealed inside a folder disguised as outdated legal memos. It had taken hours of decoding and the help of one of Damon’s most trusted cyber security allies, someone sworn to absolute secrecy to get this far.Now, the final firewall had fallen.And the truth spilled out like poison.Spreadsheets. Wire transfers. Meeting notes. Surveillance logs. It wasn’t just a strategy, it was a full-scale operation. A methodical, relentless campaign designed to dismantle Thorne Enterprises from within. The scope was staggering.Juliette’s heart pounded as she recognized the names—senior executives, board members, and assistants. Peopl
